Bacon Encrusted Chicken Nuggets

When it comes to making a meal, there are two factors of importance: taste and convenience. Sometimes we choose taste and decide to pursue something that may take all day to make. But, you know it’ll taste great, so it’s worth it. Other times, you’re in a rush and the only thing you could fathom taking the time to put together is a sandwich or bowl of cereal.

Obviously, the best foods are those that provide the value of both taste and convenience. For example, bacon. Before you let out that groan that’s waiting to escape, just hear me out. Of course, bacon tastes great, so we’ve covered that base already. As for convenience, just think about it. So, you making a dish that involves bacon. Can’t find your salt? No problem, the bacon itself is just near salty enough on its own. Misplaced your olive oil? No sweat. This ingredient creates its own oil. What an evolved food!

So in an effort to exploit both the taste and convenience of bacon, I decided to spice up a chicken nugget recipe I’ve been making for years. By adding ground bacon to the breading of these glorious nugs, you get a crispy, salty exterior that is oftentimes hard to achieve when using alternative flours. Whip out the ketchup, folks.
